I've done some research and found that windows installers won't always install to network drives, so I tried the workaround suggested here (http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-users/2007-March/024682.html) but to no avail.

I looked up the mapping of the drives in wine config but you can't change the location of drive c, it's static and set to .wine/drive_c by default.  Can someone explain how to use this fix or any other solutions to this problem?

That should've been fixed a long time ago..what version of wine? Can
you try in a fresh WINEPREFIX?
